The day of the appointment we got there early, so Cannon was able to play with the toys for about 15 minutes. This worked out perfectly as it was able to get him relaxed and settled in. Cannon had brought that dentist book with him and had read it in the car too. There was a small whiteboard and it said "Welcome Cannon." Cannon played in the "orange room," as we called it. There were video games, some books and some toys.
When they called us back, one lady let Cannon pick out a toothbrush and a little bag and the other lady explained how things worked. Cannon showed them how he brushes his teeth, he had x-rays, had his teeth cleaned, and had a fluoride treatment. After they finished they gave him a backpack and more toys. He ran up to me and gave me a big hug! Then we met with the dentist. He kept commenting on how clean and nice his teeth are. He said his 2-year molars should be coming in in the next 4-6 months. On the x-rays you could see his permanent teeth underneath. That was kinda cool. So obviously Cannon had no cavities.
After we were home Cannon wanted to read the dentist book several more times. We talked about his experience with the dentist and he told me things like he opened his mouth and wore a purple bib. I loved to see Cannon processing all of it.

I am glad it went so well. Sounds like a great place! I took Clay back in March and it wasn't all that great. He layed down on my lap and the hygentist just looked in his mouth. Not worth our time. We need to go to a pediatric dentist.
